The results for individual accounts and for different periods may vary. Investors should not rely on prior performance results as a reliable indication of future results. Market conditions may impact performance. The performance results presented were achieved in particular market conditions which may not be repeated. Moreover, the current market volatility and uncertain regulatory environment may have a negative impact on future performance.

The Brandes Global Equity Composite seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in the equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers whose equity market capitalizations exceed $5 billion at the time of purchase. Generally, no more than 30% of the composite total assets, measured at the time of purchase, may be invested in securities of companies located in emerging and frontier countries throughout the world.
